Lyrics |
Well I've drunk myself dumb for damn near half my life. Well I have been knocked down, kicked around, till the pain cut through my veins like a knife. And there's one thing I've said, though I'm not known to be wise. When I hear someone crying out, lamenting, I just look them straight in the eyes, and say, Chorus: "Oh you're not the only one who ever came from nothing, and you're not, you're not the only one who'll return. So I'll see you, oh my wicked friend, in that dark, unknown something, where the rocks in the rivers burn. Well its all been said a million times before, and its all been done until it can't be done no more. And I just can't explain what it is I feel inside that makes this Italian man just scream with Irish pride, well it could be the whiskey, it could be the beer, well it could be that's the only reason that I'm here, playing for you punks, and all you drunks, with a swagger in my step, and a heart devoid of fear, and, at that moment, it all became so clear. you're not the only one who ever came from nothing, and you're not, you're not the only one who'll return. So I'll see you, oh my wicked friend, in that dark, unknown something, where the rocks in the rivers burn. Because you're not the only one who ever came from nothing, and you're not, you're not the only one who'll return. So I'll see you, oh my wicked friend, in that dark, unknown something, where the rocks in the rivers burn. |
